Wonderful human being. ❤ I lost my daughter 33 years ago, aged 9. She still brings me great joy. 🎁💝💫

Unfortunately our family knows the loss of a child. Our daughter passed away 10 years ago. It is a gut wrenching, drop to your knees agony. You find you have 2 choices, curl up in a ball or stand up, because your wife and other child or children need you. And your spouse / partner knows you need them. You realize you have to go back to work, school and everybody knows your misfortune. You lose many / most friends because they have children and don’t know what to do or say. You dread the question “ Do you have any children”. As time passes, the gut wrenching pain subsides as you get used to the new unnormal normal. You sit in your car alone and cry, but then see and hear little things in life that you know are messages from Heaven. Life is not easy for everyone, life is a challenge for everyone. Just remember how strong you are and have empathy, sympathy & compassion toward people….try and be a good kind person.

I have nothing but admiration and respect for this legend of a man. He's been through it all but never succumbed to self-pity or rested on his laurels.

I lost my 32year old son 2 years ago. I struggle everyday. Grief has many layers

Robert Plant is still using his hands to express himself beautifully.

I could listen to Robert all day. Every time he speaks I feel educated. He is a legend

Not surprised Robert is so well spoken for the lyrics he wrote over the years.

I lost my son 26 yrs ago❣️ And yes, it was heart wrenching😢 I never forget him. And thanks be to Jesus for getting me through it🙏🏼🌸

Robert Plant was, and is, one of the coolest people to have ever lived… a true giant of rock and roll.

I lost my youngest son suddenly November 11, 2023! My life is filled with profound sadness! There are no words of sympathy or condolence that can comfort me, I will just live with this pain til I will see him again! I love you Robert Plant and have always been a huge fan of Led Zeppelin! Keep Rockin Robert! You’ve brought joy to so many of us lost souls! God bless you and your family!💖🙏🏻

That must be the most frank and sincere I've ever seen Plant in an interview. Kudos to the interviewer for his tact and for allowing Plant time to speak.

Dan Rather is without doubt simply the BEST interviewer ever. Always lets his guests speak, doesn’t talk over them, and his sincerity shines through.

I've been a Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin fan for a million years.... I have to say that I don't recall Plant opening up quite like that about his first born son. I'm a bit surprised by it. I'm also glad he spoke about it. It's so heartbreaking but important to note. ❤

I once met Mr Plant in Ft Lauderdale and had a chance to speak with him. It was in a hotel bar with his family. He was super nice and gracious. I mentioned my brother produced him in concert and I mentioned my English brother and he knew who he was. He’s still a lovely man. God bless him and his family ! 🙏🏻

I lost my baby boy last year, I'll be in pain until the day I die...

I love you Robert Plant, I have for over 40 yrs Sir and I thank you forever for your timeless music. 👍🇨🇦

This Sunday it will be 8 yrs since my daughter passed at age 41. I havs her 3 beautiful girls to always remind me of her❤

What a noble soul! I lost my 2 year old angel to sudden death in 2012 and I don't know how but I realized that life goes on and the only thing that matters is how you choose to live it...

Losing 3 of my kids in my 53 years on earth was the hardest thing to ever experience. 1 to SIDS, and 2 to overdoses....the pain never goes away, it just comes and goes in waves.

I saw this man perform fairly recently at a small intimate gig. I was sat at the front and all the while I wanted to to pinch myself for seeing him right there in front of me and preforming as well as he ever did. What a great musician and humble person he is.

Such a gentleman. Highly intelligent, articulate and thoughtful. Remarkable human being. 💙

I lost a grandaughter on christmas eve,2020,she was 9 months old,she was a twin,we still have her sister,my kids were completely lost,as were my husband and I,the only thingwe could do was push aside our own pain and just help them any way that thay needed ,3 yrs later they are better,but our family will never be the same.we just try to pour all the love we have into all of them.

Met Mr. Plant in 1989 during his tour supporting his “Now and Zen” album. Not only signed me an autograph and took a photo with me, but talked to me for several minutes in the Peabody Hotel lobby in Memphis, TN. One of the most genuine and wonderful persons I have ever met. A beautiful soul, and he will be reunited with his son in Heaven one day, grateful to have met him during my life journey…..

No parent should have to bury their child…..

Thank you for the music!! I lost my middle aged son a year ago, he was mentally ill and homeless. We could not force treatment and he was too sick to seek it. My heart is broken.

Dan Rather is a class act. His compassionate nature, kind tone, and the fact that he REALLY listens makes him a gem on an interviewer. Seeing him having a chat with Robert Plant about such a sensitive topic was really moving. A great interview - thank you!

He is such a wonderful and humble man! I too lost 2 children, one at 3 1/2 months and the other at 16 years, it is the greatest tragedy a parent could ever go through and no one can even comprehend it unless they’ve gone through it also, we played stairway to heaven at my 16 year old funeral and that one song is what helped me get through the day and every now and then when I’m driving and that song comes on the radio I know my boys are with me

I lost my son 15yrs ago, I never had another Child, It is something no parent should have to bury there child, nothing anyone can say to make it better,R.I.P Son Robert. I named him after Robert Plant ❤️

To me you are the best vocalist to ever grace this disturbing world. Thank s for all the great music.

I could never imagine the pain of losing a son or daughter, especially so young.. My Grandmother lost her son when he was just 6 years old, and she cried every night until her passing.

I have great respect for anyone that has lost a child... God bless to all.

Tragic loss and wonderful perspective from the greatest front man in rock history, the greatest voice in rock history. And he's still going strong.

A true legend of a man. I was walking to interview his band in 92 and he walked by me saw the promo package in my hand ,told his bodyguard to stand down and engaged me in a short conversation with autograph as bystanders gaped😮

I also lost a son & it will always feel like yesterday. He's come a long way & his music continues to inspire.

Wonderful musician and a beautiful gentleman.

It’s torture to lose a child. I’ve watched my parents suffer the loss of my brother. Bless his heart.

The interviewer approached a delicate topic in a sensitive way. Kudos to him. Robert will always be an inspiration.

I loved the GENUINE smile right at the end.

I had 2 children kidnapped from me yrs ago. via family court system. mother was a big time psychopath. Living with that pain, you can never feel normal again...

John Bonham had his shortcomings for sure but he was some kind of friend to Robert. Respect.

A lot of interviewers today could take such a lesson here from Dan Rather. Actually listen to the answer to your question… No need to interrupt. No need to turn it around upon yourself. Ask the question and LISTEN to the answer.

The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame can be lame but I think Mr Plant is a fine candidate for a solo induction.

It’s extremely heartbreaking loosing a child so young. I’m blessed that my first born was around as long as he was as an adult , passed in 2007. When Robert Plant speaks of Karac and his other son Logan and sees both of them intertwined , it’s heartwarming. Family and community are everything, thankfully his loved ones have that .

I feel bad he and his family had to endure the loss of his beautiful son. And Robert is such a humble person as you can see here in this video clip. I once told him during one of his first solo tours that he was the greatest singer and he smiled, sorta blushed while shaking his head no. I said your wrong, you are the best and he said thank you. As always he was remarkable that night and several other times that I've seen him. If you like his music make sure you see him on tour....he's great. Thanks again Robert.

He is and always will be the greatest .Have loved Zeppelin since day one and now appreciate the music that Robert Plant has moved onto. Just pure magic.

A very civilised man with such historical talent that brought joy and now wisdom

The lyrics to "All of my Love" are so mesmerizing... what a beautiful person inside and out

My favorite band!! I got to see them in concert three times back in the 70’s!!! God bless you Mr. Plant and thank you for making me happy. Much love and respect for you. ❤😊

Robert and Dan, thank you, this is life and needed to see this tonight, have Cancer, Peace

Does not bear thinking about. My heart goes out to any parents who have lost children.

It’s so refreshing listening to an articulate musician. The majority speaking as if they have been lobotomized, yo bro bro, bro, like you know like yo bro

My daughter passed 3 years ago. She was 42. I still can't believe she's gone. My heart ❤️ is broken.

Nothing but respect.

My sister lost her son Joshua at the age of 25.....in 2019 my beautiful nephew Josh ❤❤❤❤ he is in heaven..... my sister grieves every day ❤❤❤

We lost our son, FE 26. It’s so difficult, losing a child.

I’ve loved Robert Plant since I was 14 in 1971, the best time to grow up in…the 70’s. Losing a child at that age had to be so very heartbreaking 💔 I’m so sorry that tragedy happened to him and his wife, I’m glad they had another son to love.

Very sad loss, I remember the year it was reported. Felt very bad for him and his wife. Heartbreaking.

Oh God. What i would do to just hug my son one more time. All of my love

How nice he had such support. ❤❤

Wow - what great interview. Thank you Dan and Robert!

I understand the pain you went through. I lost my son as well almost two years ago.... Thank you for sharing your story... I now know I am not alone with this heartache

I can’t imagine what he and his family went thru on the loss of his son. He is an amazing talent. ❤️

Robert has the most beautiful smile. He is very special❤I’ve been a Zeppelin fan forever I never saw them in concert however I was able to see Robert when I was living in Cincinnati in the 90s and it was emotional & wonderful🥲

Robert Plant is a genuine fantastic human!

I'm so very, very sorry for your painful loss. I understand & empathize.., I lost my son 2/9/22.

Thank you Mr. Rather! So many of us appreciate you more than words can express. I appreciate how open and natural this conversation with Mr. Plant was. You are both worthy of legend status. 🙏

Yes love everything around you as much as you can. I lost my beautiful boy 2.5 years ago. Well spoken,always

Having lost a young child myself during that same time period, the way he spoke of it was as accurate as anything I have ever heard or probably could have even articulated myself. 40+ years, its always there, but how he spoke of the changes over time, and the child that came after, took my breath away a little.

A true rock icon

I can't imagine losing a child ..don't ever want to either.. love and strength to all that have❤️

Musings from the master lyricist, musician and more importantly, a terrific emotionally intelligent man. I love watching Robert’s interviews he’s so articulate and well spoken, many times cheeky but serious here because of the topic. “Karac was a little nature boy, he was a mountain man” stands out to me. I love the mountains too, Robert. Thank you for the music of our lifetimes. 💖

I love Robert Plant! ❤he’s so genuine and intelligent and that VOICE

My late best friend lost a daughter at 15..he never really got over it. I view death much differently now, as someone who believes in heaven and afterlife, I believe we are here for a very short time in comparison to the afterlife, and because of my strong faith and belief in God, I think of it as something wonderful for someone who has moved "onwards and upwards " . This was the case when my mother died suddenly in 2018, and I'm grateful for that belief. Always thought of Robert Plant as one of the "good guys " in an industry where they are too few and far between!

what a beautiful person

I’ve been a zeppelin fan for most of my life! Since I discovered their music at 12 years old and I’m now closing in on 62! I love watching anything that has to do with the band or about Bonham and Plant! I know Plant has put Zeppelin in the rear view mirror but it would be amazing to see the 3 original band mates get together with Jason and play a few dates in America! It’s something many of us would die to see! Anyway it’s great to see him open up about his son and about the music! His solo albums are very good and the music he does with Krause isn’t too bad either! Thanks for it all Robert, hopefully we can chat one day!

I was the manager of Our Price in Stourbridge in the 1990’s and had the brief pleasure of serving Robert Plant and helping him to find a CD he was after. He was so cool and unassuming and polite, a really nice guy.

There is no pain like the loss of a child, none. We lost our 28-year-old son in 2013 and without our faith in God, I couldn't have made it. A friend who also lost child said, "welcome to the club no one wants to be in but connects us forever". We learn so much during times of loss and pain. We celebrate Nelson, the things he loved and the wonderful times we had together. We look forward to our great reunion in heaven.

"he was a nature boy, yeah he was a mountain man".....that made me cry.

Two brilliant, thoughtful men in conversation. Love it.

I love you Robert Plant. From my first Zeppelin concert in Greensboro, NC when I was 15, and through all your following musical adventures. Your voice will forever be my favorite. I saw your wonderful personality in this interview and the love you carry for your son is so evident. I actually listened to Zeppelin last night before turning out my light to sleep including All my Love. No coincidence, you will always be a part of my life at 63. North Carolina

I could listen to Robert Plant all day :) Such a brilliant mind, musician, creative.

Amen sister, we need more heros like him!!!!

What a wonderful interview, so relaxed and intimate. Robert has a great voice for singing and talking, I could listen to him for hours.

Than you Robert for sharing about the loss of your son. I also lost my son and take to heart about what you shared.

xxxxoooo Grief is tiring and hard. xxxoooo Thank you for the music.

Saw Robert Plant live in Nashville nearly 30 years ago. Awesome beyond belief!!!!

I've seen this interview before and Robert Plant is so genuine. Strong guy.

A beautiful, humble and supremely talented man. Him and his music will truly live forever. THANK YOU for so many wonderful songs including that one. 🙏🙏

I have immense respect for him.. I remember distinctly when this happened to him.. I can't imagine being in the public eye and having to grieve the loss of a child..

I am 5 days younger than Robert. My husband, Jack Phelan shares Jimmy Page’s initials & birthday 1/9, different year tho. My Dad died 9/25/80 same day as John Bonham. I’ve looked into his eyes from the first row of the 2000 seat Boston Orpheum and told him we love him and told him “it’s ok” when he looked at me as he felt the closeness of someone, who jumped onstage and started to hug him, but was grabbed by a bodyguard offstage and taken off the other side. Robert never even saw him…that’s how smooth the bodyguard was:) Saw Jimmy and him at the Boston Garden in the Unledded Tour, Worcester Centrum when The Black Crows were fronting him, Foxwoods and Harbor Lights with Alison Kraus. He has brought us so much joy.

Hi sweet Robert, Xennial here lost my son in a custody battle to his fathers family. The grief was and is immense. He is still alive and i imagine his grief is immense. Robert i am 42 and was listening to you since 14. When 50 something males are playing your music, the music is still inside of me, memorized. I think my favorite was Kashmir with Najwa Aktar. I saw you in North Carolina with Patty Griffin. But i prefer to connect on a simple level An equal level, rather than as a fan. I've been through a lot of loss. I appreciate your sincerity, your authenticity, and your poetic soul. Thank you.

I absolutely love everything about this man. True legend globally and in every single way. Thank you Robert for some of the most timeless music I've ever had the pleasure of hearing and enjoying.

I have 4 daughter's and haven't seen any of them for 10yrs or so and although my heart feels eternally crushed i cannot imagine this mans grief from losing his child forever, my only solice is that my girls are living happy productive lives elsewhere, this allows me smile at times between the tears.

I was not a 23yr old guy..but I loved Stairway To Heaven..but Kashmir was my total favorite of all time of all songs.

To see this interview and hear him talk so intelligently and from the heart was really touching, he was a good friend of my uncle, a fellow musician, for many years and though I have lost my uncle now, to throat cancer, I could see why they were fruends. Both intelligent, well spoken articulate men and with a big talent. God Bless him & his family having lost his son, every parents worst nightmare - I cannot imagine life without my boys, that anyone carries on is an absolute miracle and shows how human strength, and love, endures. Am sure his music has helped him a lot and we are lucky to be able to enjoy his incredible talent. I believe he lives about a half hour drive from me at present, in a gorgeous Welsh Border town where he can enjoy a peaceful life among glorious countryside

Thank you Robert for your time & thoughtful share. And Dan Rather for an excellent interview. The 70’s. The best of times, the worst of times. We were there…

Truly enjoyed this interview.

Love you Mr.Plant. Best Band on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must believe you will see him one day!!!!! Just believe sir!!!!! Daniel.

A joy to hear the great Robert Plant opening up a bit.

Robert has ALWAYS been and always will be my musical everything. XOX From Ireland
